Many of our customers
have asked us "What are spudholes?" Spudholes are one and one half inch PVC pipe glassed into our
pirogue that allows the paddlers to
anchor the boat by placing the push pole through the hole, this adds
stability to the boat. "This is our newest product from Ron Chapman, Shipwright" says Steve Geraci.
"In
this newest model, we
have changed
the location for our 'spud' holes."

The earlier hole were located at the ends of the
pirogue, the new locations are behind the paddlers seat on the
right
side
and behind the passengers seat on the left side. This gives the boat a
wider purchase to stabilize itself.
Additionally,
they are very easy for the Piroguer (new
word),
to access.
